Overview
Global {M} partnered with the UK recruitment team at JP Morgan Chase for 3 months to support a rapid hiring run of 30 Senior Software Engineers needed for a new digital venture.
Why Global {M}
By utilising Global {M}’s distributed delivery model, JP Morgan Chase was able to outsource the heavy lifting of their tech hiring to a dedicated team of Talent Partners. Senior London based Managers provided reporting structures, accountability, data-driven delivery strategies, and transparency. For 3 months, Global {M}’s specialist team became a dedicated plug and play delivery arm for JP Morgan Chase, with none of the costly ongoing legacy overheads.
Challenge
We encountered a big drop off at the take-home test phase. We implemented a team-wide effort to get greater buy-in during qualification calls. Outcome: 21% increase in completion rate. We also encouraged hiring managers to allow us to fast-track senior, high caliber engineers who refused to complete the test. Outcome: 6 additional hires achieved through a fast-tracking initiative.
Approach
During the project Global {M} built a team of 7 Talent Partners. A Delivery Manager and Account Manager based in London and 5 Talent Partners working remotely from South Africa. Our approach was optimised to handle the maximum volume. Multi-channel outreach was qualified with 30-minute technical screen calls with all candidates. Technical tests were sent to suitable profiles and all those who passed were invited to a JP Morgan Chase hosted hiring event known as a ’Super Day’.
We aimed to invite 20+/- candidates per ‘Super Day’ and achieve a 50% conversion rate, leading to 10 hires per month.
Results
We achieved our top-level KPI of 30 senior hires in 3 months. We also effectively rolled out an innovative and bespoke hiring structure in partnership with JP Morgan Chase.
